It all depends on ones definition of web designer and web developer. A web developer could be either front-end coder or back-end coder. A web designer could be just a designer or a front-end coder who also designs. Lots of web designers are the latter.

Also, designing from scratch in the browser is always an option. Just like designing websites using Illustrator and Photoshop, or Fireworks is an option.
